Piracy Killed The Dreamcast, Piracy Saved The Dreamcast

Marketing, timing and the PS2 all played a big part, but one of the other reasons cited in the untimely demise of the Dreamcast was the ease with which games could be pirated. That may be, but as Michael Gapper reminds us, it was also one of the best things about the system. And I…

Goodbye, PS3, It Was A Fun Seven Years

Last year was a sad year. Sure, I got some new consoles and handhelds, which is always fun, but I also said goodbye to my Wii, my Xbox 360 and my Nintendo DS, all replaced by newer, more expensive machines. Lots of good memories there, lots of good times to say goodbye to. My PS3,…

Let’s Talk About Triggers and Grips For Your Controllers and Consoles

A few pieces of plastic can vastly improve the ergonomics and battery life of your controllers and portables. Eons ago during the Playstation 3 era, affixing frequently sub-$3 plastic caps to your DualShock 3’s marshmallow-y L2 and R2 buttons was basically enough to fix the most nagging complaint with that particular controller.

I’m Falling In Love With Long Video Games Again

I used to be really into the perfect “five-hour” game. These weren’t necessarily games that took five hours to complete, but it was always somewhere around that length of time that made it feel like the right amount of enjoyment without overstaying its welcome.

A Video Game About How People Actually Talk to Each Other
